Cheesy Potatoes

So, I made a batch of really good cheesy potatoes and am going to share the recipe.

The recipe:

-2 lbs frozen hash browns (I use the diced kind)-1/4 cup butter-1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup-1 cup sour cream-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese-1/4 cup diced onion-2 teaspoons of crushed garlic cloves (Alternatively, garlic salt/powder could work as well, I just like fresh garlic)-1/2 teaspoon of Ms. Dash Garlic and Herb (If you don't have this, you can use an Italian herb blend instead, or a combination of parsley and oregano.)

Directions:1. Defrost potatoes, melt butter, and mix together all ingredients, except for 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.2. Spread evenly in a 9x13 baking dish.3. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.4. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.I also put aluminum foil on top of mine for the first half hour to prevent the cheese from getting weird. Sometimes I leave it in the oven a little longer if the potatoes weren't quite defrosted all the way.In the picture is actually a double batch of this recipe. That's what happens when you take it to a Holiday party. You need to make a lot! The potatoes were a hit as I didn't take any home.Happy holidays and happy reading! :)
